As Gravity Falls reenters the void, and the inevitably of fanfiction begins to recirculate, there is a comment I fear I must send out to the general public.

As a trans man who gets, like, -1 representation in shows that aren’t explicitly about queer people, I often will latch onto characters that inexplicably have The Trans (TM) written into their bones, which includes Dipper Pines. And, as one might expect, I turn to my silly little A03 account to get my fix of representation and enjoyment of many a trans dilemma. Unfortunately, this is where my qualms get given the spotlight.

This is a generalization, but it seems as though every single godforsaken fic about trans!Dipper (I see this in the Spider-Man fandom a lot too, but that’s a conversation for a different day) he loses all his unhingedness, all his insanity, and is boiled down to a weak and sad little uwu trans boy who can’t handle his own dysphoria and falls apart at every slight inconvenience?

You’re telling me DIPPER, the same man who got called weak one (1) time and then disappeared into the woods for a solid 12 hours and came back half naked and rambling about positive vs toxic masculinity and manotaurs, is going to get misgendered and fall completely and utterly apart? You seriously think he’s going to have a run in with somebody who tries to bully him for being trans and he isn’t going to read them to filth? Are we forgetting that this is the same man who spent a whole episode learning about how to live and let live and then STILL told Pacifica her family was a sham with the mic-drop line of “deal with it”?????

Like good lord, please give this man some credit. I’m not saying he can’t have panic attacks, or trauma, or be treated differently by certain people, but it is the year of our lord and savior 2024 and we are STILL infantilizing trans men in fanon versions of media???

All I’m saying is if Mabel gets to keep her unhinged characteristics, you gotta let Dipper keep his too. Let Dipper punch a transphobe, as a treat.

Seen plenty of posts ribbing Wilson for being the repressed one but tbh multiple times we see Wilson question if House is sincerely flirting with him and every time House shuts him down so are we sure Wilson is the repressed one here?

My batfam Twitter au idea is that Jason made an official hero account in his robin days for Robin. Obviously it went inactive during his death and for quite a bit later. But one day he just casually replied or retweeted something about him with no explanation, and just kept popping up randomly and semi-rarely

He never makes a red hood account. He just keeps using the 2nd Robin one. He hasn't even changed the icon or title or anything

Prompt 146

So. Dan is a combination of both Danny and Vlad. Which he has never had an issue with before, but this is just frustrating. It’s not like he can’t deal with the fact the combination of the obsessions forms a protect family one, and he can deal with it. It’s not like he has one anymore. 

Which is where the gobsmacked annoyance came from- he was planning on destroying his sort-of past-self, showing this was inevitable. But his obsession, apparently like his old man, decided instead to latch onto the kid, definitely not helped by the fact the brat is like two years dead. If that, he can’t recall, all his ghostliness knows is that the brat is a fucking baby. 

He was going to destroy him, he swore! That had been the plan! So how the fuck did he get to helping the brat and the brat’s Jazz packing bags to run away? How the fuck is he responsible parent material, because he is damn sure he definitely isn’t. 

Damnit. He’s taking this half-grown clone daughter too. Fuck Vlad, he can rot in that thermos and the Fentons can stay trying to figure out why the portal is no longer working. Being the responsible one sucks though, he’d rather go back to destroying the world but killing the league a second time also sounds like too much work right now. Damnit again.

Fun fact: In Barbatos's intimacy storyline in Nightbringer he ends up living with Solomon and MC at Cocytus Hall temporarily. Here's a highlight from his 40 intimacy call:

The way he makes Solomon sit in the corner. 😭 You cannot convince me he didn't raise this man.

gideon cheerfully accepting kremy using suggestion on him left and right (and also being like '*fond smile* aaaaw yeah all the good old times :)' at the implication that kremy has essentially wielded him as a bloodied blunt instrument all these years) has some. hm. kinky implications. perhaps. also narrative/character/interpersonal ones of course but the kink factor here is unspeakable.

why are you as a man freely and gleefully offering the use of your body and occasionally autonomy to another man. why would someone who fought so hard for freedom and agency find such joy and satisfaction in willing submission. who's to say! finally actually having gay sex about this would frankly be less gay than whatever sublimated thing is going on right now

Sometimes I feel like Terzo has a complicated relationship with his face

Okay so a sorta disclaimer but you ever have those headcanons you’re not 100% bent in, you could go either way with it being discussed or not? That is this.

I am also talking as someone in a slightly similar position so it makes sense in my brain but apologies if I do a crummy job at explaining it.

Okay so it’s no secret whatsoever that Terzo’s face was heavily based on Bela Legosi. Like, to the point they are almost one-to-one. And Bela was a very handsome man, thus Terzo is a very handsome man.

Or at least, he should be.

Sometimes I think Terzo has trouble reconciling that he’s good-looking. Like, he can fathom that he looks like Bela Legosi; he can fathom that Bela is attractive; but somewhere along the way, the math just doesn’t math and he can’t completely buy into the possibility that he actually looks good. Like sure, he can put on a performance and act like he’s hot shit but I don’t think he’s 100% committed to the idea. Hell, he might not even be 75%.

I remember once somebody made a post editing out Terzo’s paints and they pointed out how the blackness was very slimming and I wondered if perhaps that was intentional? Like perhaps Terzo feels a bit of insecurity regarding his rounder/softer features. Maybe this is even more of a thing he’s developed with age?

Whatever the case, he’s hardly ever without his paints. Almost like it’s a security blanket of sorts. He’s not completely invincible but they safeguard him from revealing his decidedly less pleasant features to others. In these paints, he is Papa Emeritus III: Sex God, Totally Normal and Handsome-Looking Guy. He can’t buy into it, but he knows you will.

I wouldn’t consider it as BDD because I don’t have that and I’m personally drawing from my own experiences of recognizing traits of mine in others that I know are seen as attractive, but somewhere along the line I can’t comprehend the same being applied to me.

I think in Terzo’s case, it’s mostly just the result of years of strain and disappointment manifesting in ugly ways. He hates everyone but doesn’t lash out as much as he lashes in. Unfortunately his confidence in his looks is somewhat of a casualty. I don’t even think he necessarily gets all Howl Pendragon at the idea of not being pretty, I think he sort of just.

Like you can call him handsome and if y’all are some his close enough he’ll gently laugh it off but internally go “No I’m not??” Which is…sad. Which is depressingly suitable for the saddest Emeritus son.

Till death do us part? You’re not getting out of this that easily.

And with that I think I’m done with my little marriage series (as I have been calling my bigger Sauron pieces)! I will post them all together sometime. Happy Halloween and remember not to separate out parts of your soul for the making of cursed jewelry!

Bonus thing with some extra portraiture under the cut, idk
